Go to Tools|Options|Security. In the password section click on the <Saved Passwords> button.

On the next panel displayed click on the <Show Passwords> button.

On Mac OS, "Tools -> Options" is "Firefox -> Preferences".

Details here:

Password manager - Remember, delete, change and import saved passwords in Firefox
